In this paper we evaluate the impact of a major school reform, that took place in the 1950s in Sweden, on educational attainment and earnings.

This lecture focuses on government intervention in the funding of higher education and outlines the implications of these provisions for students, graduates, universities and the tax payer.

This paper addresses the intergeneration transmission of education and investigates the extent to which early school leaving (at age 16) may be due to variations in permanent income, parental education levels, and shocks to income at this age.

In this analysis we seek to shed light on the extent to which credit constraints may affect individuals’ choices to stay in full-time education past the age of 16 and to complete higher education (HE) qualifications in the United Kingdom, and on how this has varied between individuals born in 1958 and in 1970.

In this paper, we focus on two key educational choices and estimate the corresponding individual wage returns for variously defined marginal learners.

In this paper, we offer an in-dept investigation of NVQ qualifications, trying to shed some light as to why a seemingly beneficial certification of skill appears to hurt labour market prospects.
